What
were the three most important things to a teenager in the '50's?
Right. Your friends, your "wheels" and your music .... pretty much
in that order.

If you
weren't at the soda shoppe sipping a cherry Coke and eating French fries
with plenty of catsup, you were probably at the A&W. Nothing
promoted A&W faster than teenage mobility ... the drive-in was "the
place" to meet and hang out with your friends. Oh ya! Fine
as wine in the summertime!

Peel Out!

How
about those fabulous cars! The auto manufacturers were all trying to compete
for the teenage dollar with that special look.

The cars were
classy! I loved all the chrome, but what a killer to polish every
week! You must admit, a '57 Chevy convertible was really boss!

Even my girlfriends
and I could tell the difference between cars. To know whether it
had four on the floor or was an automatic -- that probably didn't happen.
With all those crinolines in the way, it was hard to even get "in" the
car. Right gals?
